Weekend Shopping Spree & Bangin' Bargains

Since last weekend was the last one in January I decided to be bad & blow the rest of my budget instead of being a good girl. Saturday I went to DSW and Marshalls with my Mom and sister. I must have had Tahari on the brain [you'll see why]. On Sunday I was supposed to go shopping with my friend, but that didn't happen so I did something else... You can click all the photos to see everything larger :D

Saturday: We stopped at Marhsalls first & I found this awesome leopard print Tahari sweater for only $20, normally $178! It's a little big since its a large & I'm usually a S/M, but I figure I'll mostly wear it unbuttoned or belted. AND I can wear it as a dress too, a short dress...but a dress ;)

They happened to have 2 so I picked up both & am selling the other on eBay, so if one of you lovely ladies would like it you can bid/buy it now HERE! :D Here's the deal: if there are no bids & you want to make an offer (at least $20 + $5 for US shipping/$15 international), I'll take it off eBay so you don't have to worry about bidding...the perks of being a follower ;) To make an offer email me at aclosetfashionista-blog[at]yahoo[dot]com.*It starts at $29.99 so I at least make the $20 I spent after all the stupid fees, the buy it now price is $59.99 so I'll make $40 so its like getting the one I bought for myself free ;)

Then we went to DSW and there were lots of cute shoes on sale. I found these Tahari 'Travis' Oxfords for $79.94 & they were 70% off so I paid $24. I'm guessing they are normally around $110 since that's what DSW says... I'm not sure if I want to keep them though...what do you all think?!

On Sunday I did some more damage. I was supposed to go shopping with a friend, but as usual the plans fell through. I get very annoyed when people don't plan things properly. She texted me on Sunday morning to let me know that she couldn't go anymore... *rolls eyes* but that's better than on Sunday afternoon like I thought she would. So I decided to treat myself to a Chanel nail polish...I got the Limited Edition Riva shade, it was $2 more than the normal ones at $27 but whatever...I also got free shipping and 2 free samples [Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere and Inimitable Mascara (Noir Obscur)], yay!!! This was a big splurge for me, it took me like 5 hours to press the checkout button...I'm so crazy.

So all in all i spent $71 this weekend. (I'm not counting the $20 on the second Tahari sweater since I should break even selling it or I'll return it, haha)

WHAT A DEAL!!! That sweater is soooo "right now" and the right price! And those shoes are deliciously fabulous, and for so cheap! I can't wait until I get back to the states so I can cruise those stores. LOVED it.

that sweater is bananas. love it. and chanel nail polish is a new obsession of mine. i've never wanted to spend the money on it, but it is so brilliant. and it just makes you feel special when you have it on!!! great purchases!!

I love your shopping stories and budget stories! You are a little crazy, but in a good way. ; )I was trying to buy this glittery gold Opi nail polish on Amazon today, but with international shipping it was going to be $20. Uh, no. And definitely not the day before the shopping ban starts! ; )

Hey, the important thing is you got great deals! And you may even recoup some of the cost if you sell your sweater for the asking price :) Can't wait to see that Chanel polish on your fingers, don't forget to share!

That cardigan does indeed look versatile, love the nail polish too... not so sure about the shoes though! And wow.. got to give you credit for standing outside in the snow for those pics the other day. I stood outside in 35 degree (CELSIUS!!) heat today to do my pics and nearly died :).. and you have DEER???? would love to see.... that's something I will never get in my backyard!
